Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E109: "You'll Pay For That!"
Q: When would you run You'll Pay for That! versus Counterattack, and is one just better than the other?
Counterattack is easier to use because it can remain in play until its condition occurs, while You'll Pay for That! is an event that depends on being in hand after a villain attack. The event may suit decks needing threat removal, especially at lower player counts.
E109: "You'll Pay For That!"
Q: Who wants to run this card? Give me some heroes that want to run this.
The panel considers Hulk, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Spider-Ham, Drax, Wonder Man, Cable, Hercules, Daredevil, Bishop, and Nova, especially when they can take attacks, heal, or need to clear their own schemes.
E108.5 - MC/DC 2026 Recap
Q: Are there any cards that aren't redeemable? If you wanted to thin your storage out, what are some cards you wouldn't mind losing from the collection?
They name several older or underused cards, including Assess the Situation, Welcome Aboard, Beat 'Em Up, and Recuperation. They also debate whether basic cards should stay modest rather than enable strong basic-only decks.
E108.5 - MC/DC 2026 Recap
Q: Do you have a trait or a team you think the designers did a great job with?
LazyTitan chooses Asgard for its consistent minion-focused mechanics, while Boomguy picks Space Knights and Mystics for their cohesive themes and gameplay.
E100: Show of Empathy, with Tony Fanchi
Q: What balance considerations went into Show of Empathy's costs and effects?
The card costs two justice actions and removes significant threat, converting a minion into an ally with limited damage, which balances the potential power by tying it to resource spend and a limited number of activations.
